Classic and Contemporary Poetry


TO B.C. by JOHN SUCKLING

First Line: WHEN FIRST, FAIR MISTRESS, I DID SEE YOUR FACE
Last Line: TOO LATE FOR ME, THE BLIND DOES LEAD THE BLIND.

WHEN first, fair mistress, I did see your face,
I brought, but carri'd no eyes from the place;
And since that time god Cupid hath me led
In hope that once I shall enjoy your bed.
But I despair; for now, alas! I find,
Too late for me, the blind does lead the blind.
